Extremely Eco-friendly:

Since La Lune Collection’s inception in 1979, before eco-friendly became fashionable, we have been concerned about the environment and particularly about the destruction of the rainforest by the lumber and furniture industries. Many of our customers are surprised to learn that La Lune Collection just may be the most eco-friendly furniture company in the world.

It's true!

And here are the top 10 reasons why:

1.La Lune harvests only fast growing and invasive wood species such as poplar and willow for the production of all its products. La Lune harvesting is actually beneficial to the restoration of bio-diversity to forests which have been previously clear cut by the lumber industry.

2.All woods are harvested near the factory in Wisconsin, thereby reducing the negative impact and inefficiency of transportation and eliminating any impact on the rainforests of the world where much lumber is harvested by the furniture industry.

3.All harvesting is done by hand by La Lune employees in order to maintain complete control and supervision of the harvesting process. All methods of harvesting are low-tech and eco-friendly using only hand tools. No heavy logging equipment is used.

4.La Lune’s unique yet low-tech and low-processing manufacturing methods are eco-friendly and efficient. Most processes are done entirely by hand using environmentally sound and efficient manufacturing methods. These methods, although sometimes slower, use little energy and generate virtually no waste or pollution, just like a simple low-tech bicycle is slower but much more energy efficient and eco-friendly than any high-tech automobile.

5.The turn of the century La Lune factory buildings and machinery have been carefully re-cycled and re-stored incorporating high efficient use of energy. The La Lune factory and most of its machines and equipment date back to the early 1900’s. Wood and other waste products are used to fire the kiln and heat the factory building. Even wood shaving waste is used by local farmers for animal bedding.

6.La Lune carries no inventory of furniture and manufactures “just in time” as items are sold. This efficient “just in time” manufacturing process reduces the expense and the inefficiencies associated with the production and storage of finished inventory. La Lune markets and sells its products only in the US and Canada in order to reduce the shipping distance to its clients.

7. All La Lune finishes are non-polluting, non-toxic, non-flammable, water-based finishes which are locally manufactured exclusively for La Lune. Finishes are applied in dip tanks in order to eliminate the air born pollution, energy costs, and waste products which are generated with typical spray booth applications.

8.La Lune furniture is designed and constructed to last for generations, will become tomorrow’s valuable antiques, and thereby will reduce negative environmental impact and landfill waste associated with cheaply made, disposable, non-degradable furniture. However, La Lune furniture is 100% bio-degradable, if it should someday be discarded.

9.La Lune’s human sustainability is an important part of its environmental sustainability; in 1986, La Lune relocated its operations to an abandoned factory building in a central city neighborhood now called Riverwest. La Lune has helped to restore the neighborhood by rehabbing the building, providing jobs, and opening a youth center for at-risk children near the factory in 1989. See Press and Awards.

10.La Lune’s furniture, factory, and company history provide a perfect educational tool to teach others about eco-friendly manufacturing. School and civic groups of all ages regularly tour the La Lune factory in order to learn the La Lune philosophy and process from its founder Mario Costantini. La Lune is also actively supportive of local environmental initiatives, including the UrbanEcologyCenter, located on the MilwaukeeRiver a few blocks from the La Lune factory.

La Lune Fabrics:

Prices for all seating include your choice of one of our twenty La Lune Collection indoor/outdoor fabrics or in the Customer’s Own Material (COM).

In ordinary fabrics, dyes are added to the surface of the yarn or fabric. The color only penetrates the outer layer and washes out or fades away over time. The color in La Lune yarn-dyed fabrics penetrates all the way to the core, ensuring years of vibrant color and performance.

Our color-to-the-core process makes our fabrics easy to clean. Most spills can be removed with mild soapy water and a soft bristle brush. For really tough stains, you can resort to cleaning with bleach. See La Lune Fabrics Care and Cleaning below.

The fabric photos shown in this website are an approximation of the fabric colors available. If you wish, you may contact usto request actual fabric cuttings.

Customer’s Own Material (COM):

Using your own fabrics (COM) on La Lune furniture is as easy as one-two- three. If you would like to use your own material (COM):

Determine the total amount of fabric you will need. The COM yardage is indicated with the specifications for each item.

Indicate on your COM package your name, contact information, order number, the item(s) to which your COM is to be applied, and any special instructions. If possible, print and include a copy of your order with the COM fabric.

Ship your COM via UPS, Fed Ex, US Mail, etc. to:

La Lune Collection930 East Burleigh StreetMilwaukee, Wisconsin 53212

La Lune will cut and apply all COM in the best and most appropriate manner, unless special cutting and/or layout instructions are specified on the order.

The COM yardage indicated with each item is for a single item using 54” wide plain fabric.

Allow additional yardage for fabrics that have patterns requiring matching or fabrics that are narrower than 54” wide.

Less yardage may be required on orders with multiple items in the same fabric.

Please contact us with any questions regarding COM or yardage requirements.

Additional Fabric Options:

In addition to selecting any of our twenty La Lune Collection fabrics, or sending us your COM (Customer’s Own Material), you may also select any of the fabrics from the Sunbrella indoor/outdoor upholstery line at a surcharge.

La Lune Fabrics Care and Cleaning:

One of the best ways to keep La Lune fabrics looking good and to delay deep or vigorous cleanings is to properly maintain the fabrics. This can be accomplished by simply brushing off dirt before it becomes embedded in the fabrics, wiping up spills as soon as they occur, or spot cleaning soon after stains occur.

GENERAL OR LIGHT CLEANING:

Brush off any loose dirt.

Prepare a cleaning solution of 2 ounces (1/4 cup) mild detergent, such as Woolite or Dawn dishwashing liquid, per gallon of lukewarm water.

Use a sponge or a soft bristle brush to clean.

Allow cleaning solution to soak into fabric.

Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.

Allow fabric to air dry.

SPOT CLEANING:

Apply a light mist of mild detergent and water using a spray bottle.

Work the solution into the stain by lightly scrubbing the area with a sponge or very soft bristle brush.

Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.

Blot excess moisture with a clean, soft towel or sponge.

Wet-vacuum or blot excess water.

Air dry, repeat steps 3 and 4 until all detergent residue is removed.

HAND WASHING:

Remove cushion covers and soak fabric in a solution of 1/4 cup mild detergent per gallon of lukewarm water.

La Lune Collection fabrics do not promote mildew growth, however, mildew may grow outdoors on dirt and other foreign substances that are not removed from the fabric. To clean mildew, or other stubborn stains:

Prepare a solution of 8 ounces (1 cup) of bleach and 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of mild detergent per gallon of clean water.

Spray on entire area and allow to soak into the fabric for 15 minutes.

Remove stain with a sponge, clean towel or very soft bristle brush.

Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.

Allow fabric to air dry.

If stain and/or mildew are severe, bleach quantities may be increased.

La Lune fabrics air-dry very quickly. Machine drying is not necessary. If fabric has some wrinkling, use an iron, if necessary, but only on the synthetic setting. As some irons exceed the recommended temperature on the synthetic setting, test a small inconspicuous area before ironing entire piece. DO NOT use a steamer or iron set to steam setting.

Product Design and Dimensions:

Since our furniture is handcrafted, there will be some variations in sizes, woods, designs, colors, textures, construction, fabric and leather dye lots etc.

All measurements are taken at the furthest (largest) point on each item.

When ordering please measure to ensure that all items will clear through entryways, stairways and/or elevators.

Please advise on your order if you wish to match a finish or an item(s) from a previous order.

All items in the La Lune Collection are designed and constructed for commercial or residential use.

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding product design or dimensions.

Changes, Returns, and Cancellations:

La Lune will accept reasonable order changes subject to our ability to conform to the change requested, however, we are not required to accept changes requested after order confirmation.

Changes may result in the re-scheduling of your order and may be subject to additional charges.

The acceptance of an order by La Lune is final and binding and is not subject to cancellation by the customer without the written consent of La Lune. A cancellation fee of from 25% to the total amount of the order is applicable on all cancelled orders.

Because your order is hand-made just for you, only defective or damaged merchandise can be returned.

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding changes, returns, or cancellations.
